Julian swiped it with ease, and the sword qi that emanated from the magic sword was like a continuous drizzle, impermeable to the wind.

But no matter how tight it looks on the surface, there are still gaps. Owen's eyes were as sharp as a monster, and he could always see where the gaps in those sword qi were, and then with his weird and completely human-like body, he shuttled freely between the gaps, perfectly interpreting what it means to "pass through the green bushes, and the leaves do not stick to the body", and constantly took over the distance between him and Julian in the process of movement.

This time Julian didn't back down. He is a knight, not a mage or archer who specializes in long-range attacks, and melee combat is what he is best at.

"Whoa......

Aiming at Owen and pounced, when there was no cover in midair, Julian slammed the holy sword "Eternal Victory" that had been prepared upward, and the sharp blade of the sword slashed towards Owen's waist.

In mid-air, Owen had no one to dodge at all, and he was about to be cut in two by the holy sword that emitted golden light......

However, the holy sword penetrated through Owen's body without any hindrance, and there was neither the force of the blade splitting through the flesh, nor the terrifying scene of blood and internal organs splattering everywhere. The Holy Sword's "Eternal Victory" slashed nothing more than an afterimage.

Originally, after so many battles, Julian had a fairly confident understanding of Owen's speed, and he knew that his body could not keep up with Owen, so he would predict Owen's attack path and make a move, in order to offset Owen's speed advantage; 。

The real Irving body had already come behind Julian, kicking him in the back of the head. But Julian is by no means an ordinary person, under the defeat of one blow, with his knowledge of Owen, even if his eyes do not see, Julian has realized where Owen may be, he used the excessive force caused by the Holy Sword to split the air, and suddenly pounced forward, and avoided Owen's back kick at an unimaginable angle.

As Julian dodged, he twisted his body and slashed backwards with his sword. With a golden sword light, the holy sword turned into a golden "stick" more than ten meters long and slapped at Owen.

But this time, the Holy Sword's attack failed again.

Although Julian's counterattack came quickly, Owen's reaction was quicker, and the moment he kicked the air, he quickly moved the other leg supporting his body, avoided it with that unpredictable way, and then came to Julian's other side, his right hand was squared, his left hand was raised, and a palm was rubbed against Julian's jaw.

"Click"!

This time Julian couldn't dodge it anymore, his jaw was held up by Owen's wrist, only a crisp fracture sound could be heard, Julian took a few steps back, and his jaw joint was forcefully removed

However, although Julian was hit by Owen, the balance of victory did not tilt in Owen's favor by half a point, and Julian's jawbone was automatically reset with a flash of golden light on the holy sword, and the pain and swelling from Owen's heavy blow disappeared.

After healing Julian, the remaining light on the Holy Sword "Eternal Victory" that had not been used up seemed to shine with great power. It seems that as long as there is a holy sword, unless Owen can take Julian's life with a single move, any attack will be ineffective.

On the contrary, Owen felt extremely uncomfortable at this time, because he hit Julian's left wrist, wrapped around a trace of black qi like a small snake, which was the power of the curse of the magic sword "Tears of Repentance", and in the case that the sword qi could not hit Owen, Julian used another way to make Owen hit. The energy of this grudge entangled with Owen was subtle, but it was highly condensed, and in a short time, it would invade Owen's arm and wipe out his entire hand!

However, the others were helpless at this level, but they couldn't help Owen at all! I saw Owen grab his left hand with his right hand, and the black qi of the curse dissipated into nothingness in an instant. Without fusing other attributes, there would be no obstacle to destroying this resentment energy with shattering telekinesis.

After a few rounds of back and forth, Owen and Julian were unable to give each other a heavy blow, on the surface it seemed to be evenly matched, but in fact it was extremely unfavorable to Owen, because time was not on Owen's side, Julian could afford to drag it, Owen couldn't afford it, he had to beat Julian within 30 minutes, no, now there are only 25 minutes left.

However, after clearing his body of resentful energy, Owen did not rush to attack again immediately. He stood tall with his hands on his hands, staring proudly at Julian.

"It's not like yours, my old friend. Julian was a little puzzled by Owen's behavior, and he frowned and asked, "Are you waiting for other reinforcements?" Or do you think Sophia will defeat the Seraphic Uriel before defeating me?"

"Neither. Owen shook his head and denied.

"Then why did you stop. ”

"I just confirmed one thing. ”

"Oh, what's so important?"

"Julian, aside from our childhood fights, how many times have we fought each other?"

"Probably...... About 4 or 5 times. Why do you ask this?"

"8 times, to be exact. ...... for the first time" Owen snapped his fingers and counted.

"The first time was in the Tower of the Seven Sins. Before Owen could finish speaking, Julian interrupted him, "I remember that at that time, in order to prevent the Tower of Seven Sins from descending on the disaster and destroying Hansha City, you dragged me with serious injuries so that Sophia could stick the magic sword into the top of the Tower of Seven Sins. ”

"You're mistaken, it was the second time. The first time we met, I was paralyzed, and I was your enemy as the 'Hellward Warden' Boyos. Owen corrected.

"It seems that this is indeed the case. Julian nodded in approval.

That time, although the enemy was Buyos, Buyos manipulated Owen's body, and Owen manipulated Julian's body, and the two engaged in a desperate struggle.

"The third time, in Alexandria, the imperial capital of the Rocard Empire. ”

"At that time, we were pursued by the Rocal Imperial Army at the same time, but we fought in confusion because we didn't know each other's identities. ”

"Fourth, in the Temple of the First Dragon under the Antigorin Sea. ”

"Well, it's shameful to think that I've been manipulated by Empress Ipeia. Thanks to you, I didn't become a puppet of Ipeya. ”

"The fifth, in the Antigorin Sea, was in a cave. ”

"Well, sort of. Julian recalls that the one Owen had picked up in order to cheer up his slump self.

"The sixth time in Hansar City, when you participated in the assassination of King Duris. The seventh was a few hours earlier, just outside the Papal Palace. And the eighth time, it is now. Owen counted the remaining three fights in one go.

"Yes, it seems like these eight times. So, Owen, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"Julian, every time I fight with you, whether it's in the Tower of the Seven Sins, in the Rocal Empire, in the Kingdom of Pole, or here in the Holy City, I can vaguely hear that you want to say something to me in your heart. ”

“......”

Julian paused.

He didn't immediately deny it, nor did he ask Owen what that sentence was, and judging by Julian's reaction, what Owen said seemed to be true.

Taking advantage of Julian's hair, Owen's figure suddenly disappeared in place, and the distance between the two was shortened to one step, Owen had already pounced on Julian and punched Julian in the chest!

"You're talking to me......"

"Knock" - the power of this punch was far more than ten times stronger than before, Julian's chest armor was shattered, and his whole body was blasted out by this fierce punch, hitting the wall at the end of the meditation hall.
